1 - i'm at an age now when I'm experiencing more uncomfortable sensations in my legs..
don't know if it's just related to inevitable age & declining fitness;
or side effects of blood pressure / cholesterol tablets..

or any factor in combination


2 - going off on the nose deviation...

mine got broke 2 or 3 times when I was a kid growing up in a small provincial southwest UK town.

all my adult life I've suffered breathing/sinus/inner ear problems
and am on daily steroid nasal spray and anti histamines
to try to keep it in check.

Specialist Dr says I could have an operation to straighten out
my interior nasal bones to clear blocked air passages..

BUT

there's a small but real chance the middle of my nose could wither and drop out
leaving me looking like a severest abject coke addict !!!???
